Now, do we stop the game and do a full organizational rundown along with the Annual Reports, or do we press on with Q1 2015?
I've also decided I'm not doing callouts on no-shows. They obviously have better things to do, why drag them back into something they don't care about.
It'll work out well for me if we do this as I won't be on GTPlanet from about Thursday-Monday due to karting committments. @BKGlover, there's my explanation to why I'll all of a sudden disappear during annual reports.

And I thought I had money. Jahgee, I commend you for doing brilliantly with cars from GTA!
And in other news, a new press release has emerged from Plymouth. In it was a talk with Mr. Jarmain. He said:
2014 has been an extremely successful year for Avalon Motors. We have grown from a pinpoint on the motoring map to a true competitor on the world stage. We have very big plans for 2015, which involve a wealth of new models. However, Avalon Motors is looking to make a partnership, alliance, whatever you call it. In this partnership, I would hope that we could share tech and dealerships, but things like that always come down to the finer details. If you are interested, contact me asap.
@BKGlover Is it possible to have two factories in one? For example adding another compound to existing compound and creating a factory able to build 100000 cars in quarter.

We've heard rumors of Austell Automotives' new plans for the first quarter of 2015,and have sent an interviewer there to ask the CEO about them.
The interviewer was on his way to the headquarters, when he saw an unusual vehicle. He said it slightly resembled a Ferrari of some sorts, and decided to ask the driver to pull over. It was then that he realized it was the CEO of Austell Automotives.
After asking him to pull over, our interviewer got a chaance to ask him about it. Read the full interview below.
Q: "Wow... Is this one of your new cars?"
A:" Yes, it is actually. This is the prototype for the Austell Automotives Sprinter; a V8 sports car. This particular model is the Convertible."
Q: "Looks expensive... How much is it going to cost?"
A: "22 credits."
Q: Pretty cheap. That puts it in the price range of cars like the Mustang GT and Camaro SS. Are you sure this can go up against cars so iconic?
A: I hope so! That's why I'm testing it now.
Q: "What kind of transmission does it have?"
A: "The model I'm driving has a six speed manual transmission."
Q: "Can you tell me any more about it?"
A: "I'm afraid not, but we're going to be at this upcoming auto show, there will be plenty of information there."
Q: "Before you go back to driving this, care to tell us what other plans you have for 2015?"
A: "Well, the Evasion is going intercontinental, and we've also got a pickup truck coming out."
Q: "We look forward to hearing from you again. Do you have any words for the public?"
A: "Yes, actually. Our Evasion parts came out with very good results from testing, so expect them to show up in these new vehicles."
